Yeah - he's normally pretty good. Must've been spending too much time in Edwards company.

Yep Ornstein in a class of his tbh. The Messi of the football rumour mill.

I like Martin Hardy of the Times, the thinking mans Caulkin.

Petition to have Luke Edwards demoted at least 2 tiers. The club have led that tosspiece a merry dance this summer and we love to see it. Made a right mug of him....

Twats.

The Grealish sale has probably done them no end of good in terms of FFP...

If he's back to anywhere like he looked pre-injury, he'd be an asset I'd think...

Is that the best centre back pool to choose from in the league other than Man City?

Just popped in to say................he's still a smarmy cunt.

Fucks sake.

Horses for courses and all that but we paid £12m for Trippier, a multi league proven, established full international with more caps than JD Sports. Anything over £15m looks towards the riskier end of the chart for me given his recent injury history…

Is that a 0% hit rate for Edwards this window?

Didn't happen because we let Henry Mauriss oversee the talks personally.

I think we're really good value for money tbh. If you compare the cost of watching an Ashley NUFC Vs this NUFC, we're a veritable bargain. Also £55 a ticket for CL level football is absolutely fine too. It's hardly a rip off. They could probably have charged £80 and sold out. The 'product' on offer nowadays is fundamentally different to what people have paid for historically, so it's to be expected that will cost more.

Taylor fucking Payne. How the fuck does that wheezing meff get himself into this too?

Wouldn't surprise me this one. I'm sure there was an article (maybe Athletic) either just before or just after the takeover where they talked of our potential targets and I remember both Ake (pre his Man City move) and Torres were mentioned.

Horses for courses and all that but it's mad that for the price of one Declan Rice we picked up Bruno, Botman, Trippier and half of Nick Pope. Given he'll be on £300k per week plus, we're probably not paying that four currently that much more than that either.

First time I've heard Reuben speak and was impressed tbh. He was more on the ball than I thought he'd be given he's been born with a silver spoon and hasn't had to fight for anything.

Yep - I hadn't realised he was only 20 either. Thought he was older.

Alcarez would be a big yes from me. Really liked the look of him at Southampton tbh.

Can see why they want him. He's going to be top class. Future England regular for sure.

Ultimate revenge on Dave Whelan?

He'll have to go abroad I should imagine...

I'm probably in the minority here but I thought the atmosphere was fairly flat yesterday. Maybe the whole thing was just a bit tense, but overall, I felt the Brighton game was probably better tbh.

Majestic tonight. MOTM by a mile for me.
